Note It is recommended that you use UMS rather than the SECCALL verbs for user ID management. (UMS
uses the SECCALL verbs to update the database.)
System Variables Set by
SECCALL Verbs
SECCALL verbs set the system variable &SYS.RETCODE to indicate the success or
failure of an operation. You can test &SYS.RETCODE from an NCL process after a
SECCALL verb has completed its operation. Table 18-2 summarizes the meaning of
the return codes in &SYS.RETCODE after a SECCALL verb completes its operation.
